on the turn Alex used fling to finish off Bill, he had an angle to deal 32 damage to Madison and get her out of the game, if he sacrificed his one copy and the real arcbound ravager to boost the one that would connect with Madison, dealing 16 damage and then flinging the copy before it died for another 16, totalling 32 which was Madison's hp at that time
I've had a modular focused Osigir deck, definitely going to have to check out/try the balloon man. Mindskinner looks like a blast too, wish we got to see more it..... lol. Loved the game and all the content! thanks guys!
Around the 13:50 mark when the board got wiped by the room If Zabaz is not in play when the modular trigger resolves then it doesn't affect the number of counters.
So Alex had a line on killing Madison anyway btw. Arcbounds move their counters around when they die, so when you swung in on Madison you could have moved the counters off of the real Arcbound onto the fake one in order to do its power in damage.
I really don't have a problem with mill, and I don't understand why people do. I do particularly have a problem with Bruvac though, cuz he's a 2 card combo with cards you're playing in a casual deck. But as long as he's not there, all is fine by me
Just so you know Phasing events happen at the start of the Untap step, not the Upkeep. This is something that's often done wrong when a player Phases in from Teferi's Protection 702.26a Phasing is a static ability that modifies the rules of the untap step. During each player’s untap step, before the active player untaps permanents, all phased-in permanents with phasing that player controls “phase out.” Simultaneously, all phased-out permanents that had phased out under that player’s control “phase in.”
@Fil 36:52 why not play the Funeral Room and unlock the Awakening Hall with Marina's ability? That only requires one black mana Alternatively, why not lock the study hall again, and unlock it to destroy all of Maddy's creatures again?
Just curious because I don't know much about the rules of combat damage and all that, but could Maddy have saved galta at 20:41 by using the bronze dragons ability to put enough 1/1 counters on him to tank the damage? I'm trying to learn more about how damage timing works out
No. The trigger from bronze dragon will go on the stack when damage is dealt. At that time the Ghalta has lethal damage, so the counters would have to have been added prior to the damage.
When I saw the jolly balloon man in the first episode, I was excited until I heard modular. I was hoping for a change in game 2. I think the jolly balloon man is being shafted in this series. Modular is cute but seems too "fair" for a 4-player edh game. I'd really like to see an etb/dies jolly balloon man deck.
Whenever I finally make my way out west to watch the best team in the NHL (Vancouver Canucks) play in Winnipeg. I definitely know where I’m stopping for food
The enchant rooms are gross some of them are incredible, I never thought split enchantment cards could be so gross. Hell I pulled a white one during the pre-release, the expensive side gives all my creatures convoke! Cheap side let's me untap all my creatures during opponents untap steps. And when I say expensive side, it was a 4 drop! That specific room is gross in a boros aggro😅
I was gravely disappointed when i saw mindskinner and started researching to brew it because i was wanting to jam it full of effects like questing beast and the adventure spell Stomp so that i could have my cake and eat it too by preventing the prevention of combat damage. Unfortunately there are zero of those effects that i could find that could slot into mono blue.
@@jakemaxwell3810 with a 10/1 that encourages voltron as well, it would be an alternate wincon through commander damage that also punishes decks that use their life total as a resource
I love y'all but I wish there was more time spent politicking during games! like in this game, it was absolutely in Alex's interest to keep Bill alive; Bill might be able to help address the other boards (some sort of Cyclonic Rift style effect) and also he'd keep some of the pressure off of Alex. additionally, had Alex saved the Fling, he could have used it to take out one of Maddy's huge creatures (at the cost of his Arcbound but if you're going to die, it's worth the sacrifice). regardless, thanks for the entertainment! :)
2 target permanents but they don't have to be her permanents. The targets would be chosen when ulamog is cast, and then it fizzles bc of teferis protection.
@@TheSpikeFeedersif only her list had Triumph and The Questing Beast. She could've put QB into play off ulamog cast and smashed him. I hate Teferis Prot so much all my green decks have multiple slots against it, I need help lol.
LOL we actually talked about this as it was happening in the game, I didn't realize at first that I could do that with the commander. But I decided not to walk it back after I had already cast it. I sure figured it out for the rest of the game though lol
Isn't teleportation circle not a may ability? I know Fil probably doesn't have a reason to flicker things so it maybe doesn't change anything but still
The awesome rooms like the board wipe are insane to flicker if you have liquidmetal coating/torque to make Rooms become artifacts. I've got it in my Animatou rooms already 🤩
@@TheForeverRanger I have a poison deck, mutant menace Precon, infinite token gen, +1/+1 counter burn. But every time our table based threat on board state NOT what the deck could do.
I missed what happened to Phil's commander, the black room he wanted to unlock he could have casted for the cheaper side, then unlocked the 8 mana side with his commander.
I'm not gonna say this again because maybe I'm the only one bothered by it but dangit, vocal fry is not a thing you broadcast. Get it out of here 😭 Ok that's all but I'm avoiding future videos featuring vocal fry
Like this comment to tell me how triggers work
Like this comment to get a tinkle in your tummy 🤣
Like this comment, if you took the time to read this comment.
Triggers are hard, but you have more than one fan
I love triggers, my first edh deck was General Tazri allies!
I get triggered by “do you pay the one” 😂
I think it’s been confirmed that Alex is a wizard only way I can explain he was in two places at once.

Fil's Alex impersonation was SOLID AS A ROCK!
Bill: *plays Mindskinner*
My brain: "Bill will kill with mill!"
Bravo!
That Mindskinner deck was hilarious and drew the appropriate amount of hate. Also really love the modular brew with The Jolly Balloon Man.
That was such a strange fling target lmao. I know its mill but he had no attacker, no haste, and one of the opponents would surely kill him for free.
I've had a modular focused Osigir deck, definitely going to have to check out/try the balloon man. Mindskinner looks like a blast too, wish we got to see more it..... lol. Loved the game and all the content! thanks guys!
Excellent Alex impression by Editor Fil!
Maddy casually throwing down the "My deck never does this.."
The return of Solid as a Rock! Missed that theme. Oh, the gameplay was pretty awesome too!

It would have dealt 23 damage, leaving her at 4 life. Unless I mistaken? If I am, please explain how
@@joedoe7572 Uhh no you are right I miscounted the counters.
Bills moxfield link isn't for the mindskinner deck
Updated!
Some of Maddy's cards being upside down in her deck hurts my soul 😅
It was the worst when i realized i boxed the deck i haaaate it lol
@TheSpikeFeeders I'm 90% sure Jerry did that since he played it before you Maddy.
Thank god we can blame Jerry lol its very uncharacteristic for me to do it 🤣
Damn the Alex impression was on point.
Oh that mindskinner deck speaks to me in dark, evil ways. The mill player in me wants to do it but knows it will put a hard target on my back lol
Im pretty shocked by how well Vandrell played, despite the slow slow start. The Mindskinner is FILTHY
I love doing a Tournament of Duskmourn brews! Can’t wait to see who is crowned champion!
I have a Mindskinner deck coming and let's face it, mill players are here for a good time not a long time.
Mostly due to the terrible threat assessment of players, though.
I really don't have a problem with mill, and I don't understand why people do.
I do particularly have a problem with Bruvac though, cuz he's a 2 card combo with cards you're playing in a casual deck. But as long as he's not there, all is fine by me

Bill I love your deck.
I always enjoy watching this content! Great job Spike Feeders!
Fil will always be my favorite appearance. Always more Fil plz! (whenever he's not too busy, editing yknow) 😂
Modular balloons are super neat but I’ll always cheer for big G. Childhood me smiles every time
LOve this format!
Fil, that Alex impression was AMAZING!
Anyone bringing whatever Bill was playing to the table should fully expect to be instant archenemy. That is just terrifying.
I prefer my Magic Content from people who are full of Guacamole.
love this series
Wizards, give these people more precon decks to brew. Ty.
The smell of wine and sweet perfume!
Fil looks and sometimes sounds like a guy who would casually say “Fugetaboutit”
Alex, I'm a fan of you!
You have the wrong decklists posted
@Fil 36:52 why not play the Funeral Room and unlock the Awakening Hall with Marina's ability? That only requires one black mana
Alternatively, why not lock the study hall again, and unlock it to destroy all of Maddy's creatures again?
For a split second, when i saw alexs shirt, i thought he was holding a baby lol
Going modular with Balloon 🎈 Dude is very inventive!
Fil is slowly losing his role as editor and becoming a superstar in this show. Love you all!
We're gonna have to pay him more if he sees too many comments like this!

I'm so excited to build mind skinner
Where do you guys get those little room locked token things? Your's look cooler than the ones that come in packs
the intro was SO FUN xDDD Fil there MVP xDDDD
You better believe I'm running that Mindskinner in my Mothman deck.

Alex's one fan reporting in lets get modular!! 16:31
The link for the mindskinner deck isn’t quite right. It goes to valgavoth and there isn’t a version of the deck uploaded
Bill climb too high with that mill and they had to take him out mill a 5th of the deck isn't cool but it look evil thou
How exactly does one fling a balloon at someone? 🤔
I'm your parasocial friend Alex D:
Alright. So Fil is hilarious. I’ve enjoyed every video he has been in. Fil seems fun to be friends with.
He is, we can confirm. :D
I have to get a passport, book a flight to canada... all just to try Burrito Splendito. Worth it?
Probably not but if you're ever here to watch a jets game - you know where to go!
I don't know what a burrito splendito is, but it sounds good.
I'm pretty sure maddy played balloons in disguise because that was a lot of gas.
Alex’s shirt is incredible, would love to know where it’s from!
I buy the vast majority of the shirts I wear on the show from hardaddy.com very much not sponsored. -Alex
Balloon man modular deck needs an all will be one for that extra reach.
The Mindskinner deck links to the valgavoth deck (yes I had to look up the spelling)

Bill? More like Mill AMIRITE GAMERS?
I had a burrito today. It was splendido. I wish it was truly a splendido burrito though.

It would also be pretty pointless to deal damage when your wincon is mill.

I think the jolly ballon strategy could be more interesting and strong if you include also ETB triggers and not only +1+1s
35:31 wouldn’t Maddy have to exile two of her permanents from the ulamog cast trigger or does it fizzle because it targets and then Fill teferi’d?
2 target permanents but they don't have to be her permanents. The targets would be chosen when ulamog is cast, and then it fizzles bc of teferis protection.

Just so yall know I think the link for mindskinner is the wrong one. Pulls up a valgavoth deck
Zabaz's ability doesn't affect its own modular dies trigger
I hate mill. I'm so glad it got absolutely destroyed. AND monoG wins! Good Game!
Instructions unclear, still honking in comments
Bill Mills, you Kill Bill :)
Hilarious to me how much people hate mill.
Mindskinner decklist seems to be for a different deck 😬
@Maddy 9:44 why play Vorinclex instead of playing your commander, and getting Vorinclex anyways for free with it and the Springleaf Drum?
LOL we actually talked about this as it was happening in the game, I didn't realize at first that I could do that with the commander. But I decided not to walk it back after I had already cast it. I sure figured it out for the rest of the game though lol
@@TheSpikeFeedersoh, definitely. Thanks for responding!
Worst fling I’ve ever seen other than that solid game
Not sure why teferis protection was cast that turn when there was minimal danger. Or why propaganda wasn’t cast the turn before…
The Ancient Dragons are all such bs swingy designs.
Stellar as always!! No giveaways recently?
pls mindskinnner deck
No, that's cheating. You can't use "Solid as a rock!" for a different deck box!?!
We had issues with the other music we were using, so last minute swappies. :)
Fil rocks
Missed triggers and misread abilities got me on this video ☠️
That's okay... its a lot less than the precon vids average. They don't like reading new cards or something. Outlaws and Duskmourn especially
why wouldnt u equip the sword the mindskimmer and have it do 20 damage milling 40 cards?
Do you mean on the turn when it had summon sickness?
Isn't teleportation circle not a may ability? I know Fil probably doesn't have a reason to flicker things so it maybe doesn't change anything but still
It's up to 1 target, so he can choose 0.
Oh you are absolutely right, wowie my bad 😅 @TheSpikeFeeders
The awesome rooms like the board wipe are insane to flicker if you have liquidmetal coating/torque to make Rooms become artifacts. I've got it in my Animatou rooms already 🤩
Everyone always kills the mill player after just one single card in this format. It's sad.
I hate that you all were ganging up unfairly against the mill deck.
Gotta mill more conspicuously
You have to or else. I enjoy playing mill, burn and other degenerate strategies so I know going in I am not long for the game.
